Purely as scrap? Modern being the last 2-5 years around $5-$10 depending on manufacturer and options. Boutique and gaming laptops can exceed $20 easily and the gaming desktop replacements can go well beyond that with many telco class components. Low end stuff will pull under $5 including netbooks and ultra portables which are excessively over priced.

Mac book air worked out to $6 in pure scrap rates. But jumped to $24 since I soldered the lcd panel for $20 off site.

Ok that's roughly was I was guesstimating but wasn't real sure. I think age on the ones I'm looking at might be closer to 8-10 years. Manufacturer specs have them weighing about 6lbs each so I obviously know their "whole" value but figured worth more in the long run broken apart -- again purely from a scrap perspective. I know there's more value in em overall but I ain't got time for these to hang around for months waiting to sell.

A little of topic, but could you explain why boardsort would only buy batteries that have gold contacts. Surely the small amount of gold in the contact cant offset the price they paid for the actual batteries and plastic casings. Presumably they have a buyer for the actual lithium/NiMH batteries once the gold contact is removed, so why not buy them regardless of whether the contact is gold or not?
